RE.06 Receive Items Context

The objective of the work management processes is to deliver the agreed performance targets of a business area by completing the Right Work, at the Right Time, in the Right Way. Every work package has a distinct window that defines the right time for completion. This window is bounded by the earliest date that the requirements for completion of the first elements of the work can be assembled, and by the date at which an unacceptable outcome is likely to result if all of the work has not been completed. The objective of the scheduling process is to allocate the resources necessary to complete each Task of the work package within this time window. The processes that deliver materials, special tools and contracted resources to the workplace for each Task must therefore ensure that all the specified items will be available for the Scheduled Date of each Task. As items purchased for Tasks are delivered the resourcing process must receive them for storage, staging, packing and/or onward delivery to the workplace.
